Illustration Friday "Surprise"
While adding new images to my shop, I came across this illustration. I created it for SCBWI's contest about returning to school. I thought it worked well for surprise. (hint: look at the backpack :>)
I might create another one later this week, stay tuned.

Hey, did you see the results of the last contest? Bleah. That's all I gotta say. I think I might try for this next one. I need a Santa Claus in my portfolio. :)
i wanna live in one of those houses on the hill...
Your stuff is great! A pleasure visiting your site.
Teehee, that's better than a plastic spider inside the toilet roll! Bags the liquorice house :)

He he he ... nice little popping frog
What a fine pencil-squeezer. Your illustrations and the characters are tip top.
Really love your work! Can't wait to see what comes next week!
What SCBWI contest are you referring to? I've been a member for years, but have kind of lost touch the last few (probably since they started that art auction thing at the Mid-Winter conference - but that's another long story).
Wow! You know, that actually happened many years ago to one of my students while I was teaching class. Some kid ran past the door and hurled a dissection frog into my room...and it landed right into a boy's open backpack! The boy was so angry - he just jumped out of his seat and ran after the kid. I couldn't stop him becuase I was laughing too hard! Great illustration! Thanks for the memory too:>
Very colorful & alive! Great illo!
I look forward to IF postings each week--love your style.
The little girl with her ponytail stickin' straight up ... she's adorable!! (her hair looks surprised, too!!)
I love those homes, as well. I can see a face in the middle home... but that's just me seein' faces in everything.
Nice work as always!
i love this!
This is quite fun. Great work.
you were totally robbed. This is awesome.
Thanks for all of the lovely comments. I really want to do a new one but unless an idea comes screaming into my head, this will have to do.
Carla - yuck but in a funny gross way
M.B. - SCBWI has a(somewhat) monthly contests for illustrators, you'll see the link on the front page. This one was for old school, new year.
Tony - that is super sweet, i love your photo collages and look forward to your new drawings too.
catnapping - i see faces everywhere too. ;)
dee - don't think i can take anymore rejection so i doubt i'll enter another contest for a bit. ;)
I adore your illustration style ... especially your people, what characters, their features and expressions are priceless.
I love this! I really like your style, Courtney.
(PS Thanks for stopping by my "place"!)
